Supercharge Your Portfolio: Add Operational Support Beyond the Boardroom.
Welcome to the future of venture capital support!
At Dragonfly Operating Partners, we understand the challenges venture capital firms face in maximizing the performance of their portfolio companies. That's why we offer a revolutionary solution to help you add operational support beyond traditional roles and leverage your limited partners (LPs) more effectively.
DragonflyOP works exclusively with the founders of early stage (Pre-B Round) startups inside the portfolio of our VC partners. We target your tier 2 and 3 companies who are struggling to hit performance goals that will trigger next-round scale-up funding and deliver higher returns for your LPs.
Tier 2 and 3 companies have good technology, high potential founders, and are in an exciting market - but have something happening with product-market fit, operational execution, or revenue operations that are keeping it from being a breakout star.
That's where we come in - acting with an operational due diligence approach that leads to architecting a playbook that can help them make the most of their investment from you - and create a clear business case for any funding necessary to reach their ultimate exit.
Followed by an execution phase that features our secret sauce: a pool of operating partners comprised of seasoned founders and scale-up executives who have personally founded, built, scaled, and sold companies.
Opportunities Map
We start with a thorough operational assessment to identify inefficiencies and gaps in talent, operations, revenue, technology, product, and go-to-market strategies - complete with actionable recommendations to tackle these issues.
Growth Playbook
Based on these findings, we create a playbook (specific to needs of each venture), including Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), to guide your leadership team's prioritization and resourcing.
Operational Execution
To hit the ground running, we apply (fractional) leadership from our team of operating partners alongside your leadership team to implement the growth playbook. We align our incentives with yours to make it happen.
Our work creating the Opportunities Map to execution draws on our own experience succeeding (and failing!) in order to help you flatten the learning curve and build a business that is exciting for future investment and sustainable growth.
We deliver this capability at a reduced cost to other firms, because we are working directly with you in addition to the founder - so we are all aligned and building value more effectively. Together, we are aligned as investor, founder, and operating partner to accelerate shareholder value.
Startups who engage DragonflyOP will see a significantly faster path to growth and have demonstrable valuation increases tied to performance and alignment, regardless of market conditions.
Beyond the Boardroom: Unleashing Potential
Forget the old playbook of passive boardroom advice. DragonflyOP revolutionizes the game by embedding seasoned operating partners directly within your portfolio companies. This is hands-on expertise in action, propelling your portcos towards unprecedented growth and success.
We work for both you and your founders, and hold accountability and transparency between both parties to uncover the real challenges facing the business.

Your LPs are a valuable resource, but are you leveraging them to their full potential? DragonflyOP unlocks this potential, bridging your LPs' vast expertise and networks with your portfolio's ambitions.
